Good luck girl is a hilarious comedy about a spoiled girl who has an overwhelming overabundance of good fortune, and the misfortune god who is sent to restore balance. Through the series the girl with the good fortune slowly learns to trust people and become a better person. The whole series is a good illustration of the yin-yang concept of balance because Ichiko ( the mortal with outrageous fortune energy) and Momoji (the misfortune god) have the same amount of opposing energies.
I really like this series, but as with many anime's there are a lot of dirty jokes, and quite a bit of sexual tension. This comprises a lot of the comedy, and while it is tame for its type it may offend some people which is a shame because it is a good story.
As I said the plot is about the conflict between Ichiko and Momoji and Ichiko's personal growth because of it. At the beginning of the series Ichiko is not easy to sympathize with. She seems to be extremely spoiled by everything always going her way, and she feels she is better than everyone else. It quickly becomes clear however that everything is not as it seems. While really bad things can't happen to her, she is very isolated and not well liked by any of the people around her unless they are worshiping her. About the time she realizes that she is lonely Momoji shows up and throws her life into an uproar, which turns out to be just what she needs. Since their energies are on par with each other Momoji must try to either trick Ichiko out of her fortune, bargain with her for it, or get her to distribute it voluntarily. They fight throughout the series, and have some awesome battles, but they come to be friends by the end even if Ichiko will not admit it. Through their interaction Ichiko becomes a good person, and makes lots of friends.
This anime is supernatural in nature so would probably be enjoyed by people who like fantasy and paranormal stories. It is not really the best show for young kids because there are a lot of dirty jokes and sexual humor, but it is fairly tame compared to some anime I have seen.
This series can be purchased at www.amazon.com on disk or as a stream.
